In the alleged incidents of harassment and sexual harassment in which Pedro Salmerón Sanginés is singled out, you have to see things very objectively and not make summary judgments, no political lynching of anyone, you have to present evidence
, indicated President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. In his morning press conference, he again recommended that the female compañeras: they must go to file a complaint because there are no longer any reprisals, it is not the time of past administrations.
So called not use cases that deserve to be treated with great responsibility, for political purposes, because there is evidence of that, I am not inventing anything
.
A reporter asked him about a current investigation folder – he said – for sexual harassment against Félix Salgado Macedonio, and the president replied: Well, you have to ask the state prosecutor’s office (of Guerrero) to report
.
Of the probable cases of harassment in which Salmerón Sanginés would be involved, the Tabascan maintained his position of support for him: If someone is the victim of a threat, of retaliation, here it comes out, here it is made known! Here we see each other every day! Also, almost all media outlets are against us. Do you think that any mistake that is made or any act of abuse of authority will let us pass?
.
He criticized the disclosure of information on Pedro Salmerón and his families; They mess with their relatives. Without a doubt, not only to affect us, not only, but for ideological reasons. The historian annoys them because of his positions, because that is why he is no longer a teacher at ITAM, and there were conflicting positions there
.
“And that’s where the students who say they were sexually harassed by him were,” the reporter pointed out.
–Yes, and teachers and teachers. So, you have to see things very objectively and not make summary judgments, not politically lynch anyone, you have to present evidence.
The opposition and its two types of morality
Regarding the case of Félix Salgado, the president replied dryly and harshened the criticism of his opponents: “Ah, well, we have to ask the state prosecutor’s office, the Attorney General’s Office, to report; but it is obvious that conservatism, with the hypocrisy that characterizes them, always use these cases to bring water to their mill; They are specialists in it.
Conservative hypocrites always with double standards. Corrupt hypocrites; the others, corrupt cynics. And you, tell me: with whom do you stay? With the corrupt cynic or with the corrupt hypocrite? Here I leave task
